Everything about iPhone 15 Rumors that Releases in 2023

VIVA – Every year Apple regularly releases a new series of mobile devices and this year the device they'll release will likely be the iPhone 15 series. Here are some of the biggest and most credible rumors to describe everything about the iPhone 15.
Embracing USB-C charging
The buzziest design rumor so far involves the iPhone's charging port, given the European Union's ruling that iPhones sold in the region will need to switch to a USB-C port by 2024.
Avi Greengart, an analyst at Techsponential, believes Apple has good reasons to move all iPhones to USB-C moving forward. "There are a larger ecosystem, security, and accessory considerations with the power/data connector, so I think it is more likely that Apple moves all iPhones (globally) to USB-C in the iPhone 16 timeframe to comply with European regulations," Greengart said.
Dynamic Island expands to all models
Apple possibly continues to sell four iPhone models for the iPhone 15 lineup. Rumors point to the Dynamic Island design that will be used for all phone variants.
Solid-state buttons come to pro-iPhone 15 models
Apple observer, Ming-Chi Kuo expects Apple to differentiate between its basic and Pro models in the coming years. One of them is by giving the model a solid-state volume and power button instead of the standard button found on current devices.
That button would be similar to the home button found on the iPhone SE and iPhone 7 plus the sensation of haptic feedback when we press it. The obvious advantage of this type of button would be to protect against water ingress.
Periscope-style telephoto lens arrives
The analyst predicts that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will receive a periscope-style telephoto lens. This kind of telephoto lens allows for a higher level of optical zoom with 6x optical zoom for the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
While the optical zoom on the iPhone 14 Pro Max is limited to 3x, which lags behind rivals like Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra's 10x optical zoom.
iPhone 15 Price
Prices have increased dramatically since the first version of the iPhone arrived in 2007. That will probably happen again in 2023 with the iPhone 15. The price of the regular version is expected to remain the same, according to analysts.
But the upper limit of the price range could be pushed higher if the iPhone 15 Ultra-luxury rumors are true. The Ultra model is rumored to potentially replace the iPhone 15 Pro Max, writes Mark Gurman.
